Q: Is this Hamilton Beach cooktop faster than a regular stovetop?
A: Yes, it heats up 40% faster than a typical smoothtop range or stove when boiling water.
Q: How do I know if my cookware is compatible with induction cooking?
A: The cooktop comes with an induction test magnet. If the magnet sticks to your pan, it is induction-ready.
Q: What pan sizes can I use with this cooktop?
A: You can use pans from 4 to 10 inches in diameter.
Q: Does this cooktop have precise temperature control?
A: Yes, you can set the temperature in Fahrenheit (180-450) or Celsius (82-232).
A: Thank you for your question. This appliance will operate at 1800 Watts.
A: That's actually two questions... "Standard induction pot/pan" - Induction cooking works by magnetically inducing a current inside of your pot or pan; that can ONLY work if your pot or pan is magnetic. All-aluminum is out, and (surprisingly) so is a lot of stainless steel (the chromium that keeps it from rusting also makes it non-magnetic). If a magnet won't stick to the bottom of your pot, it WILL NOT work with induction. There's a refrigerator magnet included with this unit so you can test. "How large a stockpot" - the depth/volume don't matter; what matters is that the whole bottom of the pot or pan needs to fit on the induction plate. Your stockpot can be as tall as you like (within reason!); as long as the bottom fits on the cooktop AND it's magnetic, you're golden.
Q: Does this cooktop need anything under it while cooking to protect a formica countertop?
A: No it cooks all alone. Without messes

It assists in helping keep house temperatures down (compared to gas), cooks at or near temperatures, but it’s really loud and is space-intensive.

Our next range is almost certain to be induction, and I wanted to get the hang of cooking with it; I had some reward certificates piled up, so I thought I'd get a portable 1-burner cooktop to try out. This was one of the top contenders on several review sites. First of all, be aware that induction cooktops do NOT work with non-magnetic cookware! All-aluminum won't work, and (surprisingly) a lot of stainless steel won't work either. If a magnet will stick to the bottom of your pot or pan - Hamilton Beach helpfully includes a magnet for testing - it should be just fine. To keep from self-destructing, this unit will turn itself off within a few seconds if there's nothing sitting on it, or if you try to use non-magnetic cookware. Now that that's out of the way - this unit lets you switch between multiple power levels OR target temperatures (you can switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit). I'm still experimenting to see which power levels work best for which foods; it's like getting used to any new stove. At the higher levels, it brings a pot to a boil very fast indeed. Induction cooktops (unlike gas or traditional electric) produce heat within the pot or pan itself, rather than heating from the outside; even so, the glass under the pot WILL get hot, so treat it with care for a few minutes after cooking. The cooktop itself also generates some heat, so it has an internal fan that starts a second before heating begins and runs for a few seconds after you turn the unit off; it's not silent, but it's not too loud either. Some cookware - especially if it's made of layers of metal rather than one solid chunk of iron or steel - will make a buzzing noise while the cooktop is on; it's a little surprising at first but totally normal. My sweetie and I like to joke about "sweating over a hot stove"; one of the first things you'll notice with induction is that ONLY the pot is getting hot - not the rest of the kitchen. That might be a little inconvenient in winter, but it's very nice in the middle of a Los Angeles summer!
